What can I say about Michael? He was the soul and party of any room. He oozed personality and had a larger than life persona. I remember so many conversation I had with him since being blessed with knowing him from 2005. He loved talking about his beloved Spurs and as an Arsenal fan, he was one one of very few Spurs fans I adored. Despite his love for football, there was one thing he cared about more and one thing he ALWAYS spoke about - his family. They meant everything to him. His face would light up when he was talking about his wife Pam. He would beam with pride when talking about his sons Nathan and Louis. Nothing meant more to him. I will miss Michael and so will anyone else who was fortunate enough to know him. After all, to know Michael was to love Michael. A massive loss to the world.

Michael was by far the most popular person in the office, larger than life, and so very kind - I will miss him.

Thank you for creating this tribute to Michael and for choosing to support Rowans Hospice. Honouring the memory of a loved one by supporting our work is a very special way to celebrate their life. We hope that building this tribute brings you comfort and inspiration whenever you feel the need, whether it is on birthdays, anniversaries or any other day that is important to you. The Charity will always be grateful to family and friends for remembering us at what we know can be a sad and difficult time.
